Jonas Brothers Say No to Texting While Driving

The Jonas Brothers have joined with Allstate Insurance to raise awareness about the dangers of texting while driving.

AppScout doesn't usually cover the doings of teen idols, but it's not everyday that they take a stand on a controversial tech issue. The Jonas Brothers have joined with Allstate Insurance to raise awareness about the dangers of texting while driving and to encourage young people and their families to pledge not to text and drive. These boys just love taking pledges.

They're going to be doing their lifesaving educational work at softball games. The bros have a team called the Road Dogs, and it will play several games this year at minor league stadiums. At each destination, they'll work with Allstate to educate fans about the dangers of texting and driving. During the game, fans can join the pledge by adding their thumbprint to a banner that will travel with the tour. In return, they'll get a "TXTING KLLS" thumb band. Visit the Facebook page for more info on the tour.

It sounds like a good idea, but I'm just not sure yet. I'm going to wait to hear what Justin Bieber says before I make up my mind. Back to top
